October 21, 2025Reaching Muslim People (with Dan Strange and Rob Scott)
There are four million people in the UK who say they are followers of Islam. In our rapidly changing communities, how can we reach out to Muslim people with the gospel?
Muslim people make up 6% of the UK population (as of 2021), which increase to 15% within London.
Reflecting on their experiences in church ministry, Adrian Reynolds (FIEC Associate National Director), Dan Strange (Director of Crosslands Forum), and Rob Scott (pastor, Asha London), discuss the complexities of engaging with Muslim people and how churches can hold out the hope of the gospel to them.

October 10, 2025Preparing for Mission (with Nick McQuaker)
Sharing the good news is a joy and a privilege. How can churches pray and prepare for an extended mission of evangelism?
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news" (Isaiah 52:7)!
A Passion for Life exists to help churches reach out to their communities with the gospel by equipping, encouraging, and enabling every Christian in their personal witness. This includes a week of mission organised every four years with resources to help equip local churches - the next being in 2026.
In this episode of In:Dependence, Adrian Reynolds (FIEC Associate National Director) is joined by A Passion for Life's Mission Director, Nick McQuaker, to talk about the current spiritual scene in the UK, the difference between mission and evangelism, and how churches can make the most of the 2026 mission.
May our churches stand firm with "feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace" (Ephesians 6:15).

July 24, 2025Moving Towards Intercultural Church (with Tim and Justin Gill)
What do we mean by 'intercultural church ministry'? What steps can churches make to move from being 'mono-cultural' towards being 'inter-cultural'?
Each group of people shares a pattern of doing things: its culture. As cultures from around the world mix more and more, communities can be mono-cultural or multi-cultural.
When we read about the great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue in Revelation 7:9, we see an 'inter-cultural' community united around the throne.
In order for churches to reflect this vision of heaven, they need to move from mono- or multi-cultural to inter-cultural: welcoming people from all cultures, being blessed by then, and blessing them.
In this episode of In:Dependence, Phil Topham (FIEC Executive Director) is joined by Justin Gill (FIEC's Intercultural Ministry Advisor) and Tim (a form FIEC pastor with experience in intercultural ministry) to explore what intercultural church is and how we can make steps towards being more intercultural in our churches.
